The flat tire thing might be self satisfying for some , but it opens you up to criminal charges , a fist fight , or worse . Don't get me wrong , these guys may deserve it but as they say , "two wrongs don't make a right" . The Bridgeport PD may not be effective in policing the bunker thieves but they surely know how to handle vandalism . All of the sudden the tables are turned , the poachers are in the right , and those who want no more than to stop the continued rape of a resource are in the wrong . Kinda like "Whale Wars" .
Now continuously running through the schools of bunker with a big shiteatin' grin on your face while waving HELLO to them , that would be fun ! I can hear the conversation between myself and my fishing buddies now... "Dude , the fishin' sucks today , wanna go phuk'wit those bunker poachers ?" .
Getting the Coast Guard involved is a great idea if the boats are unregistered .
Another thought is that if these "commercial" guys are using this site for "scouting" , why not just start posting false reports of huge schools of bunker ? Get them running all over without results until it becomes worthless to them to use the site for reconnaissance .
Personally , I'm not gonna do any real traveling looking for bait based on a report posted on an internet forum . Not to catch enough bait for private use at least . The real tips are gonna come by PM , phone call , or face to face conversation IMO . I think most if not all of the seasoned fishermen here know that . Just a thought .

"Politically correct" was initially coined by Leon Trotsky to refer favorably to those whose views remained in sync with the ever-shifting Bolshevik Party line. This was important, as "not PC" people risked prison or death.
